> Applying

The Department recommends admission to the Graduate School, which makes the final admission decision. You will apply electronically through the graduate school and pay the $45.00 fee. You must send the official transcripts to the department. Read and follow all instructions.

The application deadline for the Fall semester is the preceding January 15. Applications received by the department after that date are disadvantaged for admission and financial support. Only exceptional students may be considered for admission at other times.

You should apply for admission using the electronic application form.

The electronic application can be accessed through the Graduate School Home Page. Complete and detailed instructions are provided on-line: http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/appinstr.html.

After You Apply

Applications completed before January 15

When an applicant's file is complete in the Department and in the Graduate School, including receipt of all documentation and payment of the fee, the Graduate Admissions Committee reviews the application. The best applicants may receive offers of admission and accompanying financial support. Applicants whose qualifications are acceptable are notified in writing and may receive offers of admission as funds become available.

Applications completed after January 15

Completed applications will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee upon completion. Applicants whose qualifications are acceptable are notified in writing and may receive offers of admission as funds become available. However, only in exceptional circumstances will late applications result in offers of admission.

We make every effort to finalize admission decisions for the Fall semester by the preceding April 15.
